Waller-Bridge referred to her role as "a mystery and a wonder" to Empire, but more information about her character is also under wraps, as is the film's name.

At that point, it was the fastest I've ever read a script; afterwards, I came out of a kind of fog. I couldn't believe how much fun I had and how much it had influenced me. And then I had a Zoom and screamed, 'YES!' They're all delicious."
